Abstract: The technical field of invention is specific to the conservation of painting under generic glass. In the last 2000 years, more than 90% of PUG have been lost for lack of proper protection. The solution provided consists in completely isolating the delicate decor of a painting under generic glass to ensure it is chemically protected before proceeding to sealing and partitioning. This invention uses remarkably resilient materials, thus eliminating the use of glass. Hence, the new indestructible partition provides the PUG with optimal protection so long awaited, which confers upon it the capacity to become public art for the first time. The invention provides the PUG with: chemical, physical and mechanical protection; an unequalled durability; new presentation methods; the opportunity for large dimensions, heretofore impossible; the capacity for proving authenticity of origin; the sturdiness necessary for international movements.

Abstract: System and method for reducing healthcare costs by improving care and encouraging healthy behaviors. A web-based or telephonic program using insurer-funded financial incentives, offered to patients and providers that respond to queries requiring them to declare or demonstrate adherence, or provide a reason for non-adherence, to performance standards. A query sequence makes the financial incentives contingent upon the patient's and provider's agreement to allow the other to confirm or acknowledge each other's declaration or demonstration of adherence or non-adherence reason. This declaration and confirmation system motivates participation in the program and adherence to the performance standards. Performance standards include evidence-based treatment guidelines, information therapy, wellness and prevention solutions, care management, and other methods to control healthcare costs.

Title: Noninvasive diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy by sequencing
Inventor: FAN HEI-MUN
IPC: C12Q1/6809
Filed: 2009-09-16
Granted: 2020-10-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a method to achieve digital quantification of DNA (i.e., counting differences between identical sequences) using direct shotgun sequencing followed by mapping to the chromosome of origin and enumeration of fragments per chromosome. The preferred method uses massively parallel sequencing, which can produce tens of millions of short sequence tags in a single run and enabling a sampling that can be statistically evaluated.  By counting the number of sequence tags mapped to a predefined window in each chromosome, the over- or under- representation of any chromosome in maternal plasma DNA contributed by an aneuploid fetus can be detected. This method does not require the differentiation of fetal versus maternal DNA. The median count of autosomal values is used as a normalization constant to account for differences in total number of sequence tags is used for comparison between samples and between chromosomes.
